The approximate middle value
Answer:
See verification below
Step-by-step explanation:
We can differentiate P(t) respect to t with usual rules (quotient, exponential, and sum) and rearrange the result. First, note that

Now, differentiate to obtain


To obtain the required form, extract a factor in both the numerator and denominator:

Hmmm...
We have to divide 12 by 8, since we need to see how 8 students will share 12 slices.
12/8=1 and 1/2
So, each student can have a slice and a half, but since we aren't allowed to cut the slices...
We can let each student have one slice, with 4 left over, so...
Every student can have one slice, and then half can have a second slice :)!
I'm not sure if that is what was meant by the question, but that was all I could think of.
I hope I helped! :)
Answer:
19 birds
Step-by-step explanation:
First, I wrote my two equations:
5.5x +8.5y = 291.5
x + y = 41
Next, I got the variable y by itself in the second equation. Subtract x to get y = -x + 41. Then, I substituted what y equaled into the first equation. It should look like this: 5.5x + 8.5(-x+41) = 291.5. Distribute 8.5 to get 5.5x -8.5x + 348.5 = 291.5. Subtract 5.5x and 8.5x to get -3x. It should look like this: -3x + 348.5= 291.5. Subtract 348.5 from 291.5 to get -57. Now, you should have -3x = -57. Divide -3 from both sides, to get x = 19. So, there are 19 birds. If you want to go even further, 41-19= 22, which means there are 22 cats. Hope this helped!
